This is pretty incredible. In the bowels of the UT Insect Collection we’ve found some Chagas bugs collected and identified by Carlos Chagas himself!
@alexwild it had me at ASSASSIN bugs. 
@alexwild
Truly one of the truest of bugs.
Is there a dominant or distinct odor associated with these individual specimens or with open collection boxes or in the areas where the collections are stored?
Can you smell all those dead bugs?
What's it like?
Somehow, looking at these pictures, it seems to me like you might, and it might not be good...
@alexwild very cool! Way back when, for an Animal Physiology lab course, we did some cool experiments on secretion rates of the Malpighian tubules of Dipetalogaster maximus. Scary but also amazing bugs!
The illustrious forerunner of Salvador Mazza!
